Displasia Cemento Ósea Florida: Reporte de un caso

La Displasia Cemento Ósea Florida corresponde a un tipo de lesión fibro ósea caracterizada por presentar un hueso trabecular con apariencia de tejido conectivo fibroso con áreas similares al cemento radicular. Afecta principalmente a mandíbula, a mujeres y a personas de etnia africana entre la cuarta a la quinta década. Posee crecimiento limitado, presentación de forma simétrica, bilateral y capacidad de afectar de uno a más cuadrantes. Tiene tres etapas de desarrollo, que se presentan con aspecto radiográfico diferente. En la primera etapa se aprecia un área radiolúcida, en la segunda etapa se visualizan radiopacidades circunscritas al área radiolúcida; y en la tercera etapa se observa una clara radiopacidad alrededor de la lesión. Para su correcto diagnóstico se necesita una cuidadosa correlación de los hallazgos clínicos, imagenológicos, de laboratorio e histopatológicos. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de género femenino de 70 años diagnosticada con Displasia Cemento Ósea Florida.

Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia is a type of fibro-osseous lesion characterized by a trabecular bone with the appearance of fibrous connective tissue with areas similar to root cement. It mainly affects the jaw, women and people of African ethnicity between the fourth and fifth decades. It has limited growth, a symmetrical, bilateral presentation and the ability to affect one or more quadrants. It has three stages of development, with different radiographic appearance. The first stage shows a radiolucent area, the second stage shows radiopacities circumscribed to the radiolucent area; and in the third stage a clear radiopacity is observed around the lesion. For its correct diagnosis, a careful correlation of clinical, imaging, laboratory and histopathological findings is needed. The case of a 70-year-old female patient diagnosed with Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia is presented.

Florid Osseous Dysplasia in Edentulous Maxilla and Mandible: A Rare Case Report

Introduction: Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) has been described as a reactive fibro-osseous lesion affecting the jaw bones especially the tooth bearing areas. Usually, this lesion is asymptomatic unless accidentally detected during radiographic examination for any other purpose. Although the etiology is unclear, several theories suggests that its origin was related to reactive or dysplastic changes within the periodontal ligament. Case Presentation: Presenting a case of Florid Osseous Dysplasia within the edentulous maxilla and mandible of 65-year-old female patient. Patient reported with a diffuse swelling in the edentulous maxillary and mandibular posterior regions intraorally. Radiographically, multiple radiopaque lesions were noted bilaterally in the posterior mandible and also in the right posterior side of the maxilla. On microscopic examination, the lesion was composed of spicules of bony trabeculae with osteocytes in lacunae and intervening fibro-fatty connective tissue with plump fibroblasts. Management and prognosis: After the incisional biopsy, surgical recontouring was done along with further regular follow up and observation. Conclusion: Diagnosis of the jaw lesions is based on clinical findings, radiographic features, and histological picture, whereas FOD can be diagnosed based on its clinical and radiographical features. Even though the surgical approach may lead to many complications like osteomyelitis, infection, fracture etc., a biopsy may be done to confirm the diagnosis.

Schimke immune osseous dysplasia: a rare case report

Schimke immune-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is primarily characterized by the combination of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED), unique clinical phenotype, immune complex nephropathy (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis) and progressive immune defects with T-cell immunodeficiency. SIOD is caused by mutations in SMARCAL1 gene. Here we report a case of a 6-year-old girl who presented to us with disproportionate short stature, short neck kyphoscoliosis, hyper pigmented macules and severe herpes zoster. On further evaluation, she had evidence of T cell deficiency and nephrotic range of proteinuria. Renal histopathology documented focal segmental glomerular sclerosis. Genetic analysis confirmed homozygous missense mutation of SMARCAL gene on exon 8 variant c1358G>c. On extensive literature survey, this is noted to be the first case of SIOD reported from India. These children need close surveillance to watch for infections and progressive renal failure and require special care during administration of certain drugs and live vaccines.

DISPLASIA ÓSSEA FLORIDA EXPANSIVA: RELATOS DE DOIS CASOS INCOMUNS / EXPANSIVE FLORID OSSEOUS DYSPLASIA: REPORTS OF TWO UNUSUAL CASES

A displasia óssea geralmente é um achado radiográfico, por não apresentar, em sua maioria, alterações clínicas. Contudo, um novo subtipo de displasia, que afeta preferencialmente mulheres negras de meia-idade e promove expansão do osso cortical envolvido, tem sido relatada como Displasia Óssea Expansiva. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar dois casos de Displasia Óssea Florida com expressivo aspecto expansivo e perfuração das corticais ósseas envolvidas. O primeiro relata uma paciente negra, 46 anos, que compareceu à Odontoclínica Central da Marinha necessitando de restauração indireta em um dente. O exame clínico demonstrou um aumento de volume duro na face lingual do rebordo alveolar dos incisivos inferiores. Na radiografia panorâmica, foram observadas duas imagens de densidades mistas com predomínio de áreas radiopacas nas regiões apicais dos dentes anteroinferiores e do primeiro molar inferior esquerdo. A tomografia computadorizada mostrou expansão, adelgaçamento da cortical vestibular e perfuração da cortical lingual na região dos incisivos. O segundo caso apresenta uma paciente de meia idade, feoderma, que buscou atendimento para acompanhamento de lesão mista na mandíbula, nas regiões apicais dos dentes anteriores, pré-molares e na região correspondente ao terceiro molar direito. Na tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico observaram-se expansão e adelgaçamento da cortical vestibular nos dentes anteroinferiores. Com base na literatura atual e nas características de ambas as lesões, a hipótese diagnóstica para ambos os casos foi de Displasia Óssea Florida com aspecto expansivo. As pacientes foram orientadas sobre a importância da higiene bucal adequada e da necessidade de um acompanhamento clínico imagiológico anual destas lesões.

Osseous dysplasia generally is a radiographic finding because, for the most part, it does not cause clinical changes. However, a new subtype of dysplasia that affects primarily middle-aged black women and promotes expansion of the involved cortical bone has been reported as Expansive Osseous Dysplasia. The aim of this article is to report two cases of Florida Osseous Dysplasia with expressive expansion and perforation of the osseous cortex involved. The first case reports a 46-year-old black female patient whom was attended at the Naval Dental Center requiring indirect restoration in one tooth. Clinical examination showed a hard and increased volume at lingual portion of alveolar ridge in the region of the lower incisors. In the panoramic radiography two mixed density images were observed with predominance of radiopaque areas in the apical region of the anterior inferior teeth and in the first lower left molar. The computed tomography showed the buccal cortex thinning and the expansion and perforation of the lingual cortex in the incisor region. The second case presents a middle-aged brown skin patient who sought dental care to monitor a mixed lesion in the apical region of the anterior inferior teeth, lower premolars on both sides and in the third right lower third molar. In cone beam computed tomography, expansion and thinning of the vestibular cortex in the anterior inferior teeth were observed. Based on the current literature and the characteristics of both lesions, the diagnostic hypothesis was Florida Osseous Dysplasia with expansive aspect. The patients were advised on the importance of oral hygiene and the need for an annual follow-up of these lesions

Análise de imagem de lesões fibro-ósseas / Fibro-osseous lesions image analysis

As lesões fibro-ósseas (LFOs) caracterizam-se pela substituição do osso normal por tecido conjuntivo fibroso e material mineralizado. Displasia fibrosa, fibroma ossificante e displasia cemento-óssea (DCO) compõem este grupo, que além da semelhança histopatológica, pode sobrepor características radiográficas. A correlação de dados clínicos, radiográficos e histopatológicos é necessária para o diagnóstico definitivo. Este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever e avaliar exames odontológicos de imagem de indivíduos diagnosticados com LFOs. Foram desenvolvidos três estudos com metodologias independentes. O primeiro estudo avaliou os efeitos da displasia cemento-óssea em estruturas anatômicas adjacentes por meio de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC). Foram avaliados 60 casos de DCO, com 244 áreas de lesão envolvendo 426 dentes. A maioria das lesões apresentou aproximadamente 10 mm de diâmetro. Afilamento (n=80) expansão (n=62) e perfuração (n=60) foram os efeitos comuns na cortical óssea. A lâmina dura e o espaço do ligamento periodontal foram descontínuos em todos os dentes. No segundo estudo, 50 radiografias panorâmicas de mulheres com diagnóstico de DCO foram pareadas por idade com 50 radiografias panorâmicas de mulheres sem DCO. Os grupos DCO e não-DCO foram comparados através do índice de espessura da cortical mandibular (ECM), a dimensão fractal (DF) da região de osso trabecular e cortical e o índice cortical mandibular (ICM). O índice de ECM do grupo DCO foi de 3,12 mm (2,15-4,55) e do grupo não-DCO foi 3,52 mm (1,90- 4,70) com diferença estatística entre os grupos (p=0,034). A DF do trabeculado ósseo alveolar normal foi semelhante nos dois grupos, enquanto que menores médias de DF no osso cortical foram encontradas no grupo DCO (p=0,046). A classificação C3 do ICM foi mais comum no grupo DCO (p=0,009). O terceiro foi um estudo preliminar que avaliou a DF em imagens bidimensionais e tridimensionais de TCFC de seis casos de displasia fibrosa e seis de fibroma ossificante. Cortes de reconstrução panorâmica, axial, coronal e sagital foram selecionados em quatro espessuras: 0,25; 5; 15 e 25 mm, e avaliados em 3 formatos de regiões de interesse (RI). Duas metodologias compararam quatro formatos de volumes do interior das lesões. A média de DF das imagens bidimensionais de reconstrução panorâmica e axiais, com 0,25 mm de espessura mostrou diferença significativa entre displasia fibrosa e fibroma ossificante (p<0.05), independente do formato da RI (p>0,05). A média da DF de imagens tridimensionais foi diferente entre os grupos de lesões para a maioria das comparações (p<0.05), independente da metodologia usada. Informações detalhadas sobre a lesão e o envolvimento de estruturas adjacentes podem ser visualizadas em TCFC. Métodos não invasivos como os índices radiomorfométricos e análise fractal podem ser úteis na detecção de baixa densidade mineral óssea, ou mesmo como possível ferramenta de estudo da complexidade de imagens de LFOs.

Fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) are characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibrous connective tissue and mineralized material. The group includes the fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma and cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). These three lesions show similar histopathological and radiographic features. Clinical, radiographic and histopathological data correlation is necessary for the definitive diagnosis. This study aimed to describe and to evaluate dental imaging exams of individuals diagnosed with FOLs. Three studies with independent methodologies were developed. The first study evaluated the effects of COD on the adjacent anatomical structures by means of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Sixty cases of COD were evaluated. The assessment of the 60 cases involved 244 lesion areas and 426 teeth. Most lesions presented nearly 10 millimeters (mm) of diameter. Thinning (n=80), expansion (n=62) and perforation (n=60) were common effects on the cortical bone. All 426 teeth presented discontinuation of the lamina dura and of the periodontal ligament space. In the second study, 50 panoramic radiographies of women diagnosed with COD were matched with 50 panoramic radiographies of women without COD according to the individuals' age. Comparisons between groups regarding the mandibular cortical width index (MCW), the fractal dimension (FD) of the region of the trabecular and the cortical bone and the mandibular cortical index (MCI) were carried out. The MCW of the COD group was 3.12 mm (2.15-4.55) and the MCW of the non-COD group was 3.52 mm (1.90-4.70). A significant difference between groups was observed (p=0.034). FD of the normal trabecular alveolar bone was similar in both groups. For the cortical bone, a lower mean FD was observed in the COD group (p=0.046). The MCI C3 was more common in the COD group (p=0.009). The third was a preliminary study, in which the FD was evaluated on twodimensional and three-dimensional CBCT images of six cases of fibrous dysplasia and six cases of ossifying fibroma. Panoramic reconstruction, axial, coronal and sagittal slices were selected in four thicknesses (0.25, 5, 15 and 25 mm) and evaluated in three shapes of regions of interest (ROI). Two methodologies compared four volume formats from inside the lesions. A significant difference between fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma was observed for the mean FD of the twodimensional images of panoramic reconstruction and axial slices with a thickness of 0.25 mm (p<0.05), regardless of the ROI shape (p>0.05). The mean DF of threedimensional images was different between lesion groups for most comparisons (p <0.05), regardless of the methodology used. Detailed information on lesions and involvement of adjacent structures can be viewed in CBCT. Non-invasive methods, such as radiomorphometric indices and fractal analysis may be useful in the detection of low bone mineral density or as a helpful tool for the differentiation of distinct types of FOLs.

Importância dos aspectos imaginológicos no plano de tratamento da displasia óssea florida: relato de caso / Importance of imaginological aspects in the florid osseous Dysplasia treatment plan: case report

A displasia óssea florida (DOFL) é uma lesão fibro-óssea relativamente incomum dos maxilares, que acomete, principalmente, mulheres melanodermas de meia idade e geralmente é diagnosticada em radiografias de rotina. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o caso de uma paciente de 50 anos de idade, melanoderma, encaminhada ao Curso de Odontologia da Universidade Federal do Ceará para avaliação imaginológica. Clinicamente, não foi observada nenhuma alteração de volume de estruturas faciais ou intraorais. A radiografia panorâmica evidenciou imagens radiopacas circunscritas por halos radiolúcidos, localizadas bilateralmente em região edêntula de corpo mandibular, sugestivas de DOFL. Na tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC), observaram se áreas hiperdensas em regiões mandibulares edêntulas, sem expansão de corticais ósseas vestibulares e linguais, e recobertas por fina espessura de tecido ósseo, típicos da displasia. Diante do diagnóstico clínico-imaginológico de DOFL, a paciente foi encaminhada para tratamento odontológico multidisciplinar. Por meio da TCFC, foi possível se estabelecer um plano de tratamento que consistiu em procedimentos minimamente intervencionistas, considerando os aspectos clínicos e imaginológicos das lesões observadas. Em sumário, o presente trabalho reforça a importância do exame clínico meticuloso aliado à avaliação por meio de TCFC, com fins de embasar um plano de tratamento adequado em casos de DOFL assintomáticos...

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a fibrous lesion relatively uncommon of maxillary bones, mainly affects middle-age black women and generally is diagnosed on routine radiographs. This paper aims to report a case of black woman, aged 50 years, referred to Dentistry Faculty of Federal University of Ceará for imaging evaluation. Clinically, there were no facial or intraoral structures alterations. Panoramic radiography showed radiopaque images circumscribed by radiolucent halos, located bilaterally in the edentulous mandibular body region suggestive of FOD. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed hyperdense areas in edentulous mandibular regions, with no expansion of buccal and lingual cortical bone, and covered by fine thickness of bone tissue, characteristic of FOD. After the clinical-imaging diagnosis of FOD, the patient was referred for multidisciplinary dental treatment. Through the CBCT, it was possible to establish a treatment plan that consisted of minimally interventional procedures considering the clinical and imaging limits of the observed lesions. In summary, the present case emphasizes a meticulous clinical examination along with an evaluation by means of CBCT allowing an adequate treatment plan for asymptomatic FOD... (AU)

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: a contraindication to orthodontic treatment in compromised areas

ABSTRACT Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a sclerosing disease that affects the mandible, especially the alveolar process, and that is, in most cases, bilateral; however, in some cases it affects up to three or even four quadrants. During the disease, normal bone is replaced with a thinly formed, irregularly distributed tissue peppered with radiolucent areas of soft tissue. Newly formed bone does not seem to invade periodontal space, but, in several images, it is confused with the roots, without, however, compromising pulp vitality or tooth position in the dental arch. There is no replacement resorption, not even when the images suggest dentoalveolar ankylosis. Orthodontists should make an accurate diagnosis when planning treatments, as this disease, when fully established, is one of the extremely rare situations in which orthodontic treatment is contraindicated. This contraindication is due to: (a) procedures such as the installment of mini-implants and mini-plaques, surgical maneuvers to apply traction to unerupted teeth and extractions should be avoided to prevent contamination of the affected bone with bacteria from the oral microbiota; and (b) tooth movement in the areas affected is practically impossible because of bone disorganization in the alveolar process, characterized by high bone density and the resulting cotton-wool appearance. Densely mineralized and disorganized bone is unable to remodel or develop in an organized way in the periodontal ligaments and the alveolar process. Organized bone remodeling is a fundamental phenomenon for tooth movement.

RESUMO A displasia cemento-óssea florida é uma doença óssea esclerosante exclusiva dos maxilares, relacionada ao osso do processo alveolar e, na maioria dos casos, envolvendo bilateralmente a mandíbula; mas há casos em que envolve três ou até os quatro quadrantes. Nesse processo, troca-se o osso normal por um tecido densamente formado, irregularmente distribuído e salpicado por áreas radiolúcidas com tecido mole. O osso neoformado parece não invadir o espaço periodontal, mas, em muitas imagens, confunde-se com as raízes, sem comprometer a vitalidade pulpar e a posição dentária na arcada. Não há reabsorção dentária por substituição, mesmo quando as imagens sugerem anquilose alveolodentária. Um diagnóstico preciso por parte do ortodontista deve ser feito em seus planejamentos, visto que essa doença, quando se encontra plenamente instalada, representa uma das raríssimas situações em que o tratamento ortodôntico está contraindicado. Nesses casos, o tratamento ortodôntico está contraindicado porque: a) alguns procedimentos, como a aplicação de mini-implantes e miniplacas, manobras cirúrgicas para tracionamento de dentes não irrompidos e exodontias, devem ser evitados, para se impedir a entrada de bactérias da microbiota bucal no osso comprometido; e b) a possibilidade de movimentação dos dentes nas áreas comprometidas praticamente inexiste, pela desorganização óssea no processo alveolar, caracterizada por elevada densidade óssea, que gera as imagens tipo flocos de algodão. O osso densamente mineralizado e desorganizado não é capaz de se remodelar e desenvolver organizadamente, nos ligamentos periodontais e no osso do processo alveolar. A remodelação óssea organizada é fundamental como um dos fenômenos necessários para o deslocamento dos dentes.

Cemento-Osseous Dysplasias: Imaging Features Based on Cone Beam Computed Tomography Scans

Abstract Imaging exams have important role in diagnosis of cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) stands out for allowing three-dimensional image evaluation. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of cases diagnosed as COD on CBCT scans, as well identify the main imaging features related to these lesions. An analysis was performed in a database containing 22,400 radiological reports, in which all cases showing some type of COD were initially selected. These CBCT exams were reevaluated to confirm the radiographic diagnosis and determine the prevalence and distribution of the types of COD with regard to gender, age and preferred location, while describing its most common imaging aspects. Data were presented using descriptive analyses. There were 82 cases diagnosed as COD in the CBCT images (prevalence of 0.4%). The distribution of patients was 11 (13.4%) male and 71 (86.6%) female, with a mean age of 49.8 years (age-range 17-85 years). There were 47 (57.3%) cases of periapical COD, 23 (28%) of focal COD and 12 (14.6%) of florid COD. The mandible was more affected than the maxilla. In most cases, the lesions were mixed or hyperdense. All COD had well-defined limits and there were no cases of tooth displacement. In conclusion, periapical COD was the most common type and the most affected bone was the mandible. Imaging evaluation is critical for diagnosis and dentists should bear in mind all possible radiographic presentations of COD in order to prevent misleading diagnoses and consequently, inadequate treatments.

Resumo Os exames por imagem têm papel importante no diagnóstico da displasia cemento-óssea (DCO). A tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico (TCFC) se destaca por permitir a avaliação tridimensional da imagem. O objetivo neste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de casos diagnosticados como DCO nos exames de TCFC, bem como identificar as principais características de imagem relacionadas a essas lesões. Uma análise foi realizada em um banco de dados contendo 22.400 laudos radiológicos, no qual todos os casos que apresentavam algum tipo de DCO foram inicialmente selecionados. Estes exames foram reavaliados para confirmar o diagnóstico radiográfico e determinar a prevalência e distribuição dos tipos de DCO em relação ao sexo, idade e localização preferencial, além de descrever seus aspectos imaginológicos mais comuns. Os dados foram apresentados por meio de análise descritiva. Oitenta e dois casos foram diagnosticados como DCO nas imagens de TCFC (prevalência de 0,4%). A distribuição dos pacientes foi de 11 (13,4%) homens e 71 (86,6%) mulheres, com idade média de 49,8 anos (faixa etária de 17 a 85 anos). Houve 47 (57,3%) casos de DCO periapical, 23 (28%) de DCO focal e 12 (14,6%) de DCO florida. A mandíbula foi mais afetada que a maxila. Na maioria dos casos, as lesões foram mistas ou hiperdensas. Todas as DCO apresentaram limites bem definidos e não houve casos de deslocamento dentário. Em conclusão, a DCO periapical foi o tipo mais comum e o osso mais afetado foi a mandíbula. A avaliação da imagem é crítica para o seu diagnóstico e os dentistas devem ter em mente todas as possíveis apresentações radiográficas da DCO, a fim de prevenir diagnósticos enganosos e, conseqüentemente, tratamentos inadequados.

Recurrent symptomatic cemento-osseous dysplasia: A case report

Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of bone, in which normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue, followed by calcification with osseous and cementum-like tissue. COD is classified into 3 categories according to its location: periapical, focal, and florid COD (FCOD). On radiography, FCOD appears radiolucent in its early stages. As it matures, radiopacities appear within the lesion, causing them to show a mixed appearance of radiolucency and radiopacity. Because FCOD is usually asymptomatic and grows in a self-limited manner, it does not require treatment. Secondary infection is the most frequent cause of symptomatic cases. We report a case of FCOD with symptoms that appeared after a dental restoration procedure and persisted after repeated operations. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance of thorough radiological evaluations of patients with FCOD before treatment.

Progress in the diagnosis of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia / 中华口腔医学杂志

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FLCOD) is a rare, extensive bone metabolism disorder, which occurs only in the jaw bone. It is usually asymptomatic for a long time and discovered incidentally during a radiological examination. The characteristics of FLCOD in the initial stages are similar to those of periapical granuloma or jaw cyst, which may lead to misdiagnosis. After the lesion is mature, the imaging findings show that radiopaque with a thin radiolucent peripheral halo, which is crucial for the diagnosis of FLCOD, but other jaw lesions have similar imaging findings. Due to the poor blood supply of the lesion, the alveolar bone of root apices of vital teeth is slow to heal after trauma, increasing the chance of infection, which can lead to the osteomyelitis of the jaws and emerge sequestrum. This paper reviews the aspects of pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment.

Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia ( SIOD):A case report and review of literatures / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective A 10-years-old girl with Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia ( SIOD ) was reported and a literature review presented to provide clinical and genetic information of this rare disease. Methods Retrospective analysis of a case of SIOD in Capital Institute of Pediatrics was reported. The patient and her parents' DNA were extracted from blood for detecting SMARCALl gene mutation. Literatures of the disease were reviewed. Results The patient was a ten-years-old girl who admitted because of slow growth in height for 3 years. Herstaturewas123cm(T(p.Q149X)andc.1933C>T(p.R645C)compound heterozygous mutation. A novel nonsense c.445C>T(p. Q149X)was found. One reported missense mutations c. 1933C>T(p. R645C) was detected. We reviewed literatures and found that there were 4 confirmed cases in China including this one. All the 4 cases had the characteristic of short stature, special facial features, osseous dysplasia, pigmentations in body, and proteinuria. However the severity of the disease and genetic changes are not the same. Conclusion When a patient was admitted because of short stature, diagnosis of SIOD should be suspected if he or she also had special facial feature, osseous dysplasia, café-au-lait spots, and proteinuria. Gene test is a tool to help us to make a definite diagnosis of SIOD.

Displasia ósea florida. Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Florid osseous displasia. Case report and literatura review

Las displasias óseas son procesos idiopáticos ubicados en la región periapical del complejo maxilar mandibular caracterizados por un reemplazo de hueso normal por tejido fibroso y hueso metaplásico. La displasia ósea florida (DOF) se refiere a un conjunto de lesiones periapicales e interradiculares radiolúcidas y radiopacas ubicadas en la región mandibular bilateral y ocasionalmente en el maxilar. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar un caso de DOF diagnosticada mediante hallazgos clínicos, radiográficos e histológicos, con presencia de sintomatología dolorosa e infección. Se presenta femenina de 62 años tratada en la Unidad de Cirugía Buco-Maxilofacial del Hospital General del Este, «Dr. Domingo Luciani¼, Caracas, Venezuela, quien refiere inicio de enfermedad actual dos semanas previas a la consulta presentando dolor intenso en región posterior mandibular derecha con presencia de fístula intraoral y secreción purulenta. Al examen radiográfico se observaron múltiples lesiones radiopacas que involucraban los cuatro cuadrantes. Se realizó biopsia excisional y el estudio histopatológico concluyó displasia ósea florida. La paciente fue evaluada durante un periodo postoperatorio de 11 meses asintomático.

Osseous dysplasias are idiopathic processes located in the periapical region of the maxillary-mandibular complex. They are characterized by the substitution of normal osseous tissue for fibrous tissue and metaplastic osseous tissue. Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) describes a set of radio-lucid and radio opaque inter-radicular and periapical lesions, bilaterally found in the mandible and sometimes in the upper jaw. The present project presented a FOD case diagnosed by means of histological, radiological and clinical findings; there was presence of infection and painful symptoms. A 62 year old female patient treated at the Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of the General Hospital «Dr. Domingo Luciani¼, Caracas, Venezuela sought medical care. The patient reported onset of the condition two weeks before consultation, she experienced intense pain in the right mandibular posterior region with presence of intra-oral fistula and purulent discharge. X-ray examination revealed multiple radio-opaque lesions involving all four quadrants. Excision biopsy was undertaken, histopathological study indicated presence of florid osseous dysplasia. The patient was assessed during an 11 month asymptomatic post-operative period.

Florid Cemento-osseous Dysplasia.

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a condition of the bone which is rare and usually affects jaw bones. It is classified as sclerosing osteitis, multiple exostoses, diffuse chronic osteomyelitis, and gigantiform cementoma. The age group varies from 19 to 76 years and mostly presents in the fourth and fifth decade. Most commonly affects middle-aged women. It is identified on radiographic examination and manifested as diffuse irregularly shaped radiopacities in the alveolar processes. It usually presents as a bilaterally symmetrical lesion. This lesion is benign and requires treatment only if symptomatic or for cosmetic reasons. We report a case of an uncomplicated florid cemento-osseous dysplasia in a 35-year-old woman the diagnosis of our case was made radiographically.

Displasia cemento-óssea florida: uma das poucas contraindicações de implantes osseointegráveis / Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia:one of the few contraindications to osseointegrated implants

A Displasia Cemento-Óssea Florida representa uma das poucas situações clínicas de contraindicação para a colocação de implantes osseointegráveis. Como qualquer outro procedimento cirúrgico, inclusive a biópsia, se realizada, a colocação de implante pode abrir as portas para as bactérias acessarem o ambiente ósseo. O osso altamente esclerosado e irregular representa um meio adequado para a proliferação bacteriana e constituição de exuberantes biofilmes microbianos, impedindo o acesso ao local das células e moléculas da defesa orgânica, assim como de antibióticos que, por ventura, venham a ser administrados para o tratamento de uma Osteomielite Crônica Purulenta Secundária, muito comumente vista em pacientes com Displasia Cemento-Óssea Florida. A doença representa um distúrbio dos maxilares no processo de remodelação óssea e, apesar de sua elevada frequência, ainda não se sabe suas causas ou fatores associados, exceto sua predominância em pessoas com alguma afrodescendência, especialmente em mulheres de meia idade...

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia represents one of the few clinical contraindications to osseointegrated implant placement. As in any other surgical procedure, including biopsy, implant placement might open up the doors to bacteria access to the bone environment. Highly sclerosed irregularbone is appropriate for bacteria proliferation and formation of exuberant microbial biofilm, thereby hindering access not only of local cells and molecules of organic defense, but also of antibiotics potentially administered to treat secondary purulent chronic osteomyelitis commonly found inflorid cemento-osseous dysplasia patients. The disease is a disorder of the maxilla, established during the process of bone remodeling; and despite its high frequency, its causes or associated factors remain unknown, except for its predominance among afrodescendents, especially middle-aged women...

Radiolucent rim as a possible diagnostic aid for differentiating jaw lesions

In this study, we formulate a new proposal that complements previous classifications in order to assist dental practitioners in performing a differential diagnosis based on patients' radiographs. We used general search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks to find relevant studies by using keywords such as "jaw disease," "jaw lesions," "radiolucent rim," "radiolucent border," and "radiolucent halo." More than 200 articles were found, of which 70 were broadly relevant to the topic. We ultimately included 50 articles that were closely related to the topic of interest. When the relevant data were compiled, the following eight lesions were identified as having a radiolucent rim: periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia, focal cemento-osseous dysplasia, florid cemento-osseous dysplasia, cemento-ossifying fibroma, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, odontoma, and cementoblastoma. We propose a novel subcategory, jaw lesions with a radiolucent rim, which includes eight entities. The implementation of this new category can help improve the diagnoses that dental practitioners make based on patients' radiographs.

Misdiagnosis of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia leading to unnecessary root canal treatment: a case report

This case report demonstrates an unnecessary endodontic treatment of teeth with florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) due to a misdiagnosis as periapical pathosis and emphasizes the importance of correct diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatment. A 30-year-old woman was referred to our institution for apicoectomies of the mandibular left canine and both the lateral incisors. The periapical lesions associated with these teeth had failed to resolve after root canal treatment over a 3-year period. Radiographic examinations revealed multiple lesions on the right canine, the second premolar, and both first molars as well as the anterior region of the mandible. Based on clinical, radiographic and histological evaluations, the patient condition was diagnosed as FCOD. The patient has been monitored for 2 years. To avoid unnecessary invasive treatment, accurate diagnosis is essential before treatment is carried out in managing FCOD.

Florid osseous dysplasia in a middle-aged Turkish woman: A case report

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is an uncommon, benign, cemento-osseous lesion of the jaws. The etiology of FOD is still unknown. It is often asymptomatic and may be identified on routine dental radiographs. The classic radiographic appearance of FOD is amorphous, lobulated, mixed radiolucent/radiopaque masses of cotton-wool appearance with a sclerotic border in the jaws. In our case the lesion was found incidentally on routine periapical radiographs taken for restored teeth and edentulous areas. For further and detailed examination, a panoramic radiograph and cone-beam computed tomograph (CBCT) were taken. The panoramic radiograph and CBCT revealed maxillary bilateral and symmetrical, non-expansile, well-defined, round, radiopaque masses in contact with the root of the maxillary right second molar and left first molar teeth. Our aim in presenting this case report was to highlight the importance of imaging in diagnosis of FOD.

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia and osteomyelitis: a case report of a simultaneous presentation / Displasia cemento-óssea florida e osteomielite: relato de caso de uma apresentação simultânea

PURPOSE: To report a case of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) and chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (CDSO) in a simultaneous presentation, emphasizing the significance of differential diagnosis and appropriate management of these conditions. CASE DESCRIPTION: A female, 69 years old, black patient had a complaint of itching and pain in posterior left mandibular region. The patient had a yellowish hard mass throughout all quadrants of the jaws. A panoramic radiograph showed a lobular, diffuse and irregular radiopaque lesion. Based on clinical and histopathological findings, the diagnosis was FCOD associated with secondary osteomyelitis. CONCLUSION: This report reinforces the need of accurate assessment of clinical, radiographic and histopathological aspects for the diagnosis and correct selection of treatment in cases of combined lesions.

OBJETIVO: relatar um caso de displasia cemento-óssea florida (DCOF) e osteomielite esclerosante difusa crônica (OEDC) em uma apresentação simultânea, enfatizando a importância do diagnóstico diferencial e adequado manejo dessas condições. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Uma paciente do sexo feminino, 69 anos de idade, de cor negra, tinha uma queixa de dor e coceira na região esquerda da mandíbula. A paciente apresentava uma massa dura amarelada envolvendo todos os quadrantes dos maxilares. Foi obtida uma radiografia panorâmica, revelando lesão radiopaca lobular, difusa e irregular. Com base nos aspectos clínicos e histopatológicos, o diagnóstico foi de DCOF associada com osteomielite secundária. CONCLUSÃO: esse relato reforça a necessidade de uma avaliação precisa dos aspectos clínicos, radiográficos e histopatológicos para o diagnóstico e seleção correta de tratamento em casos de lesões combinadas.

Florid osseous dysplasia: report of two cases and a review of the literature / Displasia ósea florida: reporte de dos casos y revisión de la literatura

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a benign condition of the jaws in which the normal architecture of bone is replaced by a fibrous tissue containing a variable amount of bone and cementum-like tissue. This lesion is most commonly seen in middle aged black women. FOD appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in the mandible, rarely in the maxilla. The lesion is usually asymptomatic and benign. However, a secondary infection may occur and its treatment can be difficult and complicated. This paper reports the case of two patients. The first one is a white woman aged 65 and the second one is a black woman aged 70, both diagnosed with FOD, revealed by secondary infections. The diagnosis was based on clinical and radiographic findings, as biopsy is contraindicated. Radiological and clinical features of FOD and its management will be also discussed on the basis of recent literature.

La displasia ósea florida (DOF) es una patología benigna del maxilar y mandíbula en la que se sustituye la arquitectura normal del hueso por un tejido fibroso que contiene una cantidad variable de tejido óseo y cementoide. Esta lesión es más frecuente en mujeres negras de edad media. La DOF aparece como una masa densa, lobulada, a menudo situada simétricamente en la mandíbula, rara vez en el maxilar. La lesión suele ser asintomática y benigna. Sin embargo, una infección secundaria puede ocurrir y su tratamiento puede ser difícil y complicarse. Este artículo reporta el caso de dos pacientes. La primera es una mujer blanca de 65 años y la segunda es una mujer negra de 70 años, ambas diagnosticadas con DOF, revelada por infecciones secundarias. El diagnóstico se basó en los hallazgos clínicos y radiológicos, ya que la biopsia está contraindicada. Las características clínicas y radiológicas de la DOF y su manejo son discutidos en base a la literatura reciente.
